Backstage Reaction To TNA’s Deal With UTA

The company and people in TNA Wrestling are said to be very happy that the company has signed a deal with United Talent Agency (UTA). Part of the deal includes UTA representing TNA in getting a new TV deal for iMPACT! Wrestling in the US. One reason there hasn’t been much in the way of news for a new TV deal with TNA is because WWE hasn’t settled their TV situation yet, however, the other side of the story is that TNA has been working on their UTA deal and wanted to get UTA to negotiate the deal for them. Previously, TNA did the negotiating for their TV’s deals in house.

UTA is reportedly confident they can get a deal for iMPACT! Wrestling, be it with Spike or another network. UTA is also expected to try and brand TNA talents with appearances on TV for brand building, exposure, etc. Quite frankly, it’s the type of deal TNA could’ve used a long time ago, especially with marketing campaigns. In the past, many of TNA’s marketing campaigns have been half-baked, lame duck efforts such as “Cross the Line.”
